Long-wear compositions containing silicone acrylate copolymer and surface-treated pigment

ABSTRACT

Compositions including at least one dendritic silicone acrylate copolymer and at least one surface-treated pigment, as well as methods of making such compositions and methods of applying such compositions to keratinous material are provided.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one dendritic silicone acrylate copolymer and at least one surface-treated pigment. Among other improved or beneficial properties, these compositions have surprisingly good long-wear and/or transfer-resistance properties.

DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND

Many cosmetic compositions, including pigmented cosmetics such as foundations, mascaras and lipsticks, have been formulated in an attempt to possess long wearing properties upon application. Unfortunately, many of these compositions do not generally possess both good long-wear/transfer-resistance properties as well as good application properties, good comfort properties and/or good appearance properties (for example, matte properties).

For example, with respect to lip compositions, commercial products containing silicon resins such as MQ resins are known. Such products are known to provide good long wear properties and/or transfer-resistance. However, such products possess poor application properties and/or poor feel upon application (for example, feels rough). Therefore, a second composition (topcoat) is separately applied to such products to improve poor properties of the compositions to make the products acceptable to consumers. Furthermore, the topcoat composition must be reapplied continually so that the product remains acceptable to consumers, meaning that the products are effectively not “long-wearing” as they require constant maintenance and reapplication.

Also, with respect to foundations, such products can provide good long wear properties and/or transfer-resistance. However, such long-wearing/transfer-resistant products can possess poor application and/or feel upon properties application, as well as poor matte properties.

Thus, there remains a need for improved compositions having improved cosmetic properties, particularly good wear, transfer-resistance, smudge-resistance, feel and/or matte characteristics upon application.

Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention is a care and/or makeup and/or treatment composition for keratinous materials which has good cosmetic properties such as, for example, good wear, transfer-resistance, smudge-resistance, feel and/or matte properties upon application, and which can be applied without having to engage in a multi-step application process.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not restrictive of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, the expression “at least one” means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” meaning within 10% to 15% of the indicated number.

“Film former” or “film forming agent” as used herein means any material such as, for example, a polymer or a resin that leaves a film on the substrate to which it is applied.

“Polymer” as used herein means a compound which is made up of at least two monomers.

“Keratinous materials” includes materials containing keratin such as hair, skin, eyebrows, lips and nails.

“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent. Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.

“Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less than about 100° C.

“Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of greater than about 100° C.

“Anhydrous” means the compositions contain less than 1% water. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain less than 0.5% water, and most preferably no water.

“Transfer” as used herein refers to the displacement of a fraction of a composition which has been applied to a keratinous material by contact with another substrate, whether of the same nature or of a different nature. For example, when a composition such as an eyeshadow, eyeliner or mascara has been applied, the composition can be transferred onto hands by rubbing or by contact of the hands with the eyes. By way of further example, when a composition such as a lipstick has been applied, the composition can be transferred onto teeth or hands, or onto the cheek of another person. Irrespective of composition type, the composition can also transfer from the keratinous material to which it has been applied to another substrate such as napkins, collars, glasses, cups or other containers.

“Transfer-resistance” as used herein refers to the quality exhibited by a composition in resisting transfer. To determine transfer-resistance, the amount of composition transferred from a keratinous material to a substrate may be evaluated and compared. For example, a composition may be transfer-resistant if, after application to a keratinous material such as lips, skin or eyelashes and contact with a substrate, a majority of the composition is left on the wearer. Further, the amount transferred may be compared with that transferred by other compositions, such as commercially-available compositions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, little or no composition is transferred to the substrate from the keratinous material.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein refers to compositions where the compositions, after application to a keratinous material, do not transfer or smudge after contact with another substrate and retain a consistent appearance on the keratinous material for an extended period of time. “Long wear” compositions, as used herein can also refer to compositions where color remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period of time. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to keratinous materials such as skin, eyelashes or lips and evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately following application to the keratinous material and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time. Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. Additionally, long wear properties may be evaluated by applying a sample, allowing it to dry, and then abrading the sample to determine removal/loss of sample.

The composition of the present invention may be in any form, either liquid or non-liquid (semi-solid, soft solid, solid, etc.). For example, it may be a paste, a solid, a gel, or a cream. It may be an emulsion, such as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a multiple emulsion, such as an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion or a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion, or a solid, rigid or supple gel. The composition of the invention may, for example, comprise an external or continuous fatty phase. The composition can also be a molded composition or cast as a stick or a dish.

The compositions and methods of the present invention can comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful in personal care.

In accordance with the present invention, compositions comprising at least one dendritic silicone acrylate copolymer, at least one silicone elastomer resin, and at least one surface-treated pigment are provided.

Surface-Treated Pigment

In accordance with the present invention, compositions comprising at least one surface-treated pigment are provided. “Surface-treated pigment” means pigments that have totally or partially undergone a surface treatment of chemical, electronic, electrochemical, mechanochemical or mechanical nature, with a surface treatment agent. Preferably, the pigments are selected from inorganic pigments or inorganic/organic mixed pigments.

In accordance with the present invention, surface treatment agents are selected from the group consisting of alkyl silanes, organotitanates, halogenated phosphonates, and halogenated organosilanes. According to preferred embodiments, pigments have been surface treated with a surface treatment agent selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated alkyl silanes such as, for example, ethoxylated and/or propoxylated C2-C8 alkyl silanes, and salts thereof, organotitanates such as, for example, titanium salts of fatty acids such as, for example, C2-C8 alkylated titanium salts of C9-C24 fatty acids such as stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, cetearic acid, cetyl acid, etc., halogenated organophosphonates such as, for example, perfluoroalkyl phosphonates, and salts thereof, and halogenated organosilanes such as, for example, perfluoro C2-C8 alkyl silanes (optionally ethoxylated and/or propoxylated), and salts thereof. Specific examples of suitable surface treatment agents include (1) triethoxy caprylylsilane, (2) perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, (3) sodium perfluorohexylethylphosphonate and (4) isopropyl titanium triisosterate.

Preferred surface treatment agents are selected from the group consisting of alkyl silanes and halogenated organosilanes. According to preferred embodiments, pigments have been surface treated with a surface treatment agent selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated alkyl silanes such as, for example, ethoxylated and/or propoxylated C2-C8 alkyl silanes, and salts thereof, and halogenated organosilanes such as, for example, perfluoro C2-C8 alkyl silanes (optionally ethoxylated and/or propoxylated), and salts thereof. Specific examples of suitable surface treatment agents include (1) triethoxy caprylylsilane, and (2) perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane.

The surface-treated pigments of the present invention can be prepared according to surface treatment techniques well known to a person of ordinary skill in the art or can be found commercially.

For example, the surface treatment agent with which the pigments are treated can be deposited on the pigments by solvent evaporation, chemical reaction between the molecules of the surface treatment agent or creation of a covalent bond between the surface treatment agent and the pigments. The surface treatment can thus be carried out, for example, by chemical reaction of a surface treatment agent with the surface of the pigments and creation of a covalent bond between the surface treatment agent and the pigments. An exemplary method is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,578,266, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The surface-treated pigment preferably is present in the compositions of the present invention in an active solid content amount ranging from about 1% to about 30%, preferably from about 3% to about 25%, and preferably from about 5% to about 20%, by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition, including all ranges and subranges there between.

The letter D means a difunctional unit, for example, (CH₃)₂SiO_(2/2) in which the silicon atom is connected to two oxygen atoms. The letter T represents a trifunctional unit, for example, of formula (CH₃)SiO_(3/2). The letter Q means a tetrafunctional unit SiO_(4/2) in which the silicon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms, which are themselves bonded to the rest of the polymer.

Specific examples of suitable dendritic silicone acrylate copolymers include the acrylate/dimethicone copolymers sold by Dow Corning under the tradenames FA 4001 CM SILICONE ACRYLATE (cyclopentasiloxane (and) acrylates/polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer), FA 4002 ID SILICONE ACRYLATE (isododecane (and) acrylates/polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer), FA 4003 DM SILICONE ACRYLATE (dimethicone (and) acrylates/polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer), and FA 4004 ID SILICONE ACRYLATE (isododecane (and) acrylates/polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer), and mixtures thereof.

As described in the '787 patent, suitable copolymers can have a group that has a siloxane dendron structure (L¹) and a hydrophilic group (Q) as expressed in the following general formula (1):

R¹ _(a)L¹ _(b)Q_(c)SiO_((4-a-b-c))/2  (1)

where:

R1 is a monovalent organic group or a hydrogen atom. However, R1 as a monovalent organic group does not include groups that correspond to L1 or Q. Examples of the R1 moiety include a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 30 carbons, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 30 carbons, a straight or branched polysiloxane chain, and the like.

Note that a portion of the methyl group of the polysiloxane chain may be substituted by a phenyl group, a fluorine or similar halogen atom, or an organic group including epoxy groups, acyl groups, carboxyl groups, amino groups, (meth)acryl groups, mercapto groups, and the like.

A modified group other than the group having a siloxane dendron structure (-L1) and the hydrophilic group (-Q) can be introduced as R1. Specifically, when R1 is a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group, a substituent can be suitably selected from the organic group examples described above in accordance with desired characteristics and uses. For example, a monovalent hydrocarbon group substituted with an amino group, an aminoethyl aminopropyl group, a carboxyl group, or the like can be selected. Likewise, in addition to an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbons such as a methyl group or an ethyl group, an alkyl group having from 8 to 20 carbons can be selected as a portion of the R¹ moiety. Of these, R¹ is preferably a monovalent hydrocarbon group or a monovalent fluorinated hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 20 carbons. Examples of the monovalent hydrocarbon group not having unsaturated aliphatic bonds belonging to the R¹ moiety include methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, butyl groups, pentyl groups, hexyl groups, and similar alkyl groups; phenyl groups, tolyl groups, xylyl groups, and similar aryl groups; and aralkyl groups such as benzyl groups. Examples of the monovalent fluorinated hydrocarbon group include trifluoropropyl groups, pentafluoroethyl groups, and similar perfluoroalkyl groups. Preferably, R¹ is a methyl group, an ethyl group, and/or a phenyl group, and preferably from 90 to 100 mol % of all the R¹ moieties are selected from the group consisting of methyl groups, ethyl groups, and phenyl groups.

L¹ is a silylalkyl group having a siloxane dendron structure, and is defined as the silylalkyl group expressed by the following general formula (2) when i=1.

The silylalkyl group having a siloxane dendron structure has a structure where a carbosiloxane unit is extended in the form of a dendrimer. R² is a phenyl group or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbons. Examples of the alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbons include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, s-butyl, pentyl, neopentyl, cyclopentyl, hexyl, and similar straight, branched, or cyclic alkyl groups.

In general formula (2), i represents a generation of the silylalkyl group represented by L′, and is an integer of 1 to c when c is a number of generations that is a number of repetitions of the silylalkyl group. The number of generations c is an integer from 1 to 10, and L^(i+1) is the silylalkyl group when i is less than c and is a methyl group or a phenyl group when i=c. L^(i+1) is preferably a methyl group when i=c. a^(i) is a number in a range of 0 to 3. The number of generations c is preferably an integer from 1 to 3, and more preferably is 1 or 2.

Additional Additives

The composition of the invention can also comprise any additive usually used in the field under consideration. For example, dispersants such as poly(12-hydroxystearic acid), antioxidants, essential oils, sunscreens, preserving agents, fragrances, fillers, neutralizing agents, cosmetic and dermatological active agents such as, for example, emollients, moisturizers, vitamins, essential fatty acids, surfactants, silicone elastomers, thickening agents, gelling agents, particles, pasty compounds, viscosity increasing agents can be added. A non-exhaustive listing of such ingredients can be found in U.S. patent application publication no. 2004/0170586, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Further examples of suitable additional components can be found in the other references which have been incorporated by reference in this application. Still further examples of such additional ingredients may be found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook (9^(th) ed. 2002).

A person skilled in the art will take care to select the optional additional additives and/or the amount thereof such that the advantageous properties of the composition according to the invention are not, or are not substantially, adversely affected by the envisaged addition.

These substances may be selected variously by the person skilled in the art in order to prepare a composition which has the desired properties, for example, consistency or texture.

These additives may be present in the composition in a proportion from 0% to 99% (such as from 0.01% to 90%) relative to the total weight of the composition and further such as from 0.1% to 50% (if present), including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

Needless to say, the composition of the invention should be cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable, i.e., it should contain a non-toxic physiologically acceptable medium and should be able to be applied to the keratinous materials of human beings such as, for example, lips, skin or eyelashes.

In particular, suitable gelling agents for the oil phase include, but are not limited to, lipophilic or hydrophilic clays.

The term “hydrophilic clay” means a clay that is capable of swelling in water; this clay swells in water and forms after hydration a colloidal dispersion. These clays are products that are already well known per se, which are described, for example, in the book “Mineralogie des argiles”, S. Caillere, S. Henin, M. Rautureau, 2^(nd) edition 1982, Masson, the teaching of which is included herein by way of reference. Clays are silicates containing a cation that may be chosen from calcium, magnesium, aluminium, sodium, potassium and lithium cations, and mixtures thereof. Examples of such products that may be mentioned include clays of the smectite family such as montmorillonites, hectorites, bentonites, beidellites and saponites, and also of the family of vermiculites, stevensite and chlorites. These clays may be of natural or synthetic origin.

Hydrophilic clays that may be mentioned include smectite products such as saponites, hectorites, montmorillonites, bentonites and beidellite. Hydrophilic clays that may be mentioned include synthetic hectorites (also known as laponites), for instance the products sold by the company Laporte under the names Laponite XLG, Laponite RD and Laponite RDS (these products are sodium magnesium silicates and in particular sodium lithium magnesium silicates); bentonites, for instance the product sold under the name Bentone HC by the company Rheox; magnesium aluminium silicates, especially hydrated, for instance the products sold by the Vanderbilt Company under the names Veegum Ultra, Veegum HS and Veegum DGT, or calcium silicates, and especially the product in synthetic form sold by the company under the name Micro-cel C.

The term “lipophilic clay” means a clay that is capable of swelling in a lipophilic medium; this clay swells in the medium and thus forms a colloidal dispersion. Examples of lipophilic clays that may be mentioned include modified clays such as modified magnesium silicate (Bentone Gel VS38 from Rheox), and hectorites modified with a C₁₀ to C₂₂ fatty-acid ammonium chloride, for instance hectorite modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride (CTFA name: disteardimonium hectorite) sold under the name Bentone 38 CE by the company Rheox or Bentone 38V® by the company Elementis.

In particular, among the gelling agents that may be used, mention may be made of silica particles. Preferably, the silica particles are fumed silica particles.

Suitable silicas include, but are not limited to, hydrophobic silicas, such as pyrogenic silica optionally with hydrophobic surface treatment whose particle size is less than 1 micron, preferably less than 500 nm, preferably less than 100 nm, preferably from 5 nm to 30 nm, including all ranges and subranges therebetween. It is in fact possible to modify the surface of silica chemically, by a chemical reaction producing a decrease in the number of silanol groups present on the surface of the silica. The silanol groups can notably be replaced with hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is then obtained. The hydrophobic groups can be:

trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are notably obtained by treatment of pyrogenic silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas treated in this way are called “Silica silylate” according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are for example marketed under the references “AEROSIL R812®” by the company Degussa, “CAB-O-SIL TS-530®” by the company Cabot;

dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are notably obtained by treatment of pyrogenic silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas treated in this way are called “Silica dimethyl silylate” according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are for example marketed under the references “AEROSIL R972®”, “AEROSIL R974®” by the company Degussa, “CAB-O-SIL TS-610®”, “CAB-O-SIL TS-720®” by the company Cabot.

Preferably, the gelling agent, if present, is present in the composition of the present invention in amounts of active material generally ranging from about 0.1% to about 10%, preferably from about 0.25% to about 5%, and more preferably from about 0.5% to about 3.5%, by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, including all ranges and subranges in between.

According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, methods of treating, caring for and/or making up a keratinous material by applying compositions of the present invention to the keratinous material in an amount sufficient to treat, care for and/or make up the keratinous material are provided. Preferably, “making up” the keratinous material includes applying at least one coloring agent to the keratinous material in an amount sufficient to provide color to the keratinous material.

According to yet other preferred embodiments, methods of enhancing the appearance of a keratinous material by applying compositions of the present invention to the keratinous material in an amount sufficient to enhance the appearance of the keratinous material are provided.

In accordance with the preceding preferred embodiments, the compositions of the present invention are applied topically to the desired area of the keratinous material in an amount sufficient to treat, care for and/or make up the keratinous material, to cover or hide defects associated with keratinous material, or to enhance the appearance of keratinous material. The compositions may be applied to the desired area as needed, preferably once daily, and then preferably allowed to dry before subjecting to contact such as with clothing or other objects. Preferably, the composition is allowed to dry for about 4 minutes or less, more preferably for about 2 minutes or less.

Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention.

Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective measurements. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention without limiting the scope as a result. The percentages are given on a weight basis.

Example 1—Preparation of Foundation Compositions

To prepare foundation compositions, each of phase A and phase B are separately prepared and mixed in a beaker with stirring. Phase A is prepared at 45° C. and Phase B is prepared at 60° C. Phase A is then prepared under high shear and Phase B is slowly added to Phase A to prepare Phase AB. Phase AB is cooled to 35° C. with mixing. Phase C is then added to Phase AB.

Ingredient Type Concentration Phase A Hydrocarbon Fluid  5-40% Silicone fluid 10-12% Oil phase Thickeners 6-9% Emollients 2-4% Pigments  5-20% Silicone Dendrimer Acrylate (active) 0.5%-30%   Emulsifiers 5-8% Phase B Water phase 30-35% Preservatives 1-4% Phase C Fillers 1-6% Alcohol 1-5%

Example 2—Inventive and Comparative Compositions

Sample “pigment only” formulations were prepared as described in example 1. Different surface-treated pigments were used in different compositions, and the properties resulting from the different “pigment only” compositions were evaluated.

More specifically, foundation compositions containing different surface-treated pigments were tested for adhesion and nontransfer properties. The properties were evaluated through a multichallenge wear test, which is an in vitro test in which a resulting film is abraded one time. In the multichallenge wear test, a numerical rating on a scale of 1-5 was assigned, where 5=least transfer/best film property and 1=most transfer/worst film property.

For the multichallenge wear test, a film is deposited onto a surface such as a black byko-chart Black Scrub Panels P121-10N #5015 using a 1 mL drawdown bar. After drying 24 h at 37° C., the deposit can be covered with artificial sebum or sweat. Samples are then abraded using an automatic drawdown machine (Gardco Automatic Drawdown Machine) equipped with Velcro (¾″ white 010 PSA 0172) pieces adhered to the lowest bar. Contact between the Velcro adhered bar and the film interface is made and then the bar is automatically dragged across the sample one time. The film can then be wiped by hand using light force with an absorbent material (for example, a large kimwipe). Then, it can be determined how much of the sample remains undisrupted on the scrub panel as well as how much of the sample has transferred to the absorbent material using a rating scale such as the one described above to assess the degree of sample removal from the substrate or the degree of sample transferred to the absorbent material, in which 1 is total disruption and extreme transfer to absorbent material, 2 is most disruption with substantial transfer to absorbent material, 3 is half disruption and some transfer to the absorbent material, 4 is minimal disruption and minimal transfer to absorbent material and 5 is essentially no removal and no transfer.

An extreme multichallenge wear test was also used to evaluate compositions containing silicone acrylate copolymer/surface-treated pigment using the same protocol as above, except dragging the bar across the sample 10 times.

Results for testing are set forth in Table 1 and Table 2 below.
